    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your salty dog for all things rod and reel along the Oregon coast. It's a crisp winter morning on January 26th, 2026, and the Pacific's callin' us out. Sunrise hit around 7:47 AM, sunset's droppin' at 6:10 PM per tides4fishing charts—short days, but prime fishin' windows.

    Tides at Nestucca Bay entrance show high at 4:56 AM (5.6 ft), low at 9:40 AM (3.5 ft), high again 3:11 PM (7.0 ft), and low 11:00 PM (0.3 ft)—perfect for surf casters workin' the incoming. Newport's similar: high 5:16 AM (8'7"), low noonish (1'0"), evenin' high 6:55 PM (5'4"). Ocean weather's calm with high pressure ridin' north, light winds, cold clear water per ocean.weather.gov—fish are edgy but feedin' pre-front.

    Action's hot on hatchery Chinook salmon and winter steelhead in the lower Columbia River mouth to I-5 bridge, open Jan 1 to Mar 31 says wellness.alibaba—anglers pullin' 1-2 fat hatchery kings over 20 inches daily, plus steelies on drifts. Recent reports from ODFW note stronger runs, wild fish released. Lingcod and rockfish bitin' nearshore too, with surf perch stackin' up.

    Best lures? Slow-drag a 1/2 oz football jig in green pumpkin or brown craw, tipped with matchin' trailer—deadly in deep zones. Suspendin' jerkbaits like Megabass Vision 110 in matte shad for twitchin' indecisive fish. For bait, live herring or sand shrimp on a drop-shot rig shines for steelhead; artificials rule salmon with spinners.

    Winter Wonders on the Oregon Coast - Tackle Tips, Tide Trends, and Tasty Catches
    Jan 25 2026
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to gal for all things rod and reel along the Oregon coast. It's a crisp winter mornin' on January 25th, 2026, with sunrise hittin' around 6:48 AM PST and sunset at 5:16 PM—plenty of daylight to chase bites before the chill sets in. Tides at Oceanside and Pacific City show high at 1:20 AM pushin' 6.23 feet, droppin' to low 2.89 feet by 8:21 AM, then buildin' back up; fish the outgoing for best action as current stirs 'em up, per Tide-Forecast.com data.

    Weather's holdin' steady—mild temps in the 40s, light winds off the Pacific, no big storms brewin' yet. Fish activity's pickin' up with crab season windin' down; ODFW just shifted late-season regs to April 1st outta Newport to dodge whale entanglements, meanin' fewer pots in deep water and more shallows open for us anglers. Recent reports from NorCalFishReports.com got the Pacific Pearl haulin' 180 Dungeness crab, 30 petrale sole, and 200 sanddabs yesterday outta Emeryville—prime winter hauls echoin' our Oregon waters. Lingcod and rockfish are hot offshore, salmon runs buildin' in rivers like the Klamath with fresh steelhead pushin' in.

    Locals nailed limits on surf perch from the beaches—grab a Zebco Salt Fisher combo with Strike King Maxie Waxie grubs or ginger quill flies for perch and lingcod. Best lures? Jigs tipped with sand shrimp or herring chunks; live bait like mud shrimp rules for bottom dwellers. Artificials shine too—try small rubber grubs in natural colors for perch, or metal jigs for greenling.

    Hit these hot spots: Yaquina Bay near Newport for bay perch and flounder on the flats, or Pacific City beaches for surf perch striper-style. Watch for humpbacks—report tangles to 1-877-SOS-WHALe.

    Winter Steelhead, Crabbing, and Lingcod Action on the Oregon Coast
    Jan 24 2026
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things rod and reel along the Oregon coast. It's a crisp winter morning on the Pacific, and we're talkin' prime time for winter steelhead pushin' into the rivers feedin' our big blue backyard. ODFW's latest weekly report out January 22 says winter steelhead fishing's holdin' steady statewide, with coastal streams seein' good action as waters drop from recent rains. Crabbing's slow in Newport but pickin' up strong in Florence with fat, meaty keepers.

    Tides today around Brookings and Chetco Cove—high at about 4AM pushin' 7 feet, droppin' to low mid-mornin' 'round 2-3 feet, then risin' again afternoon. Newport's Yaquina River mirrorin' that with lows near 9AM and highs buildin' to 3PM. Sunrise kicks off at 7:36AM, sunset's 5:23PM, givin' ya solid daylight windows. Weather's comin' in chilly with a chance of rain per NWS marine forecast, winds light outta the north, seas calm enough for nearshore runs—bundle up against them cold fronts hittin' the coast.

    Fish activity's hot on steelhead, with fair numbers showin' in coastal rivers like the Rogue, Chetco, and Sixes. ODFW notes solid winter steelie bite, and Guide's Forecast reports early runs climbin' as rivers clear. Lingcod's very good out of Brookings from Bird Island north, per Fishing the North Coast updates. Crabs improvin' too. Limits ain't blowin' doors off, but persistent anglers are hookin' 5-10 pound bright fish daily.

    Best lures? Go Rage DB Craw or Sexy Bug soft plastics scented up for steelies—coffee scent masks human stink and draws 'em in. Smaller MagLip plugs or Corkies for driftin'. Bait-wise, fresh roe clusters or prawns unbeatable for plunkin' lower Rogue. For ocean, bottom sweeper jigs or AVA jigs on dabs and lings.

    Hit these hot spots: Lower Rogue near mouth for morning plunkers grabbin' steelhead at dawn, and Brookings nearshore from Bird Island north for lings and crabbing. Check ODOT for road access—floodin' can sneak up.

  • Winter Bite Report: Cold Fronts, Tough Conditions on Oregon's Pacific Coast

    Winter Bite Report: Cold Fronts, Tough Conditions on Oregon's Pacific Coast
    Jan 23 2026
    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your salty dog guide for Oregon's Pacific coast angling. It's Friday mornin', January 23, 2026, and we're lookin' at a typical winter bite out here on the Oregon Pacific—cold fronts pushin' through makin' it tough, per BassForecast's 10-day outlook for the Pacific Northwest. Bite's rated TOUGH in winter pattern, with fish schooled deep on dropoffs, ledges, and steep banks.

    Weather's brisk: highs in the low 40s, gusty winds from the southwest per Ocean Weather Service briefs, and waves buildin'—stay cautious on jetties. Sunrise 'round 7:45 AM PST, sunset by 5:15 PM. Tides at Newport's Yaquina River show low at 8:26 AM (2.95 ft), high 2:08 PM; similar at Coos Bay fallin' early, per Tide-Forecast and NOAA. Fish the incoming around slack for best action—ODFW reports rockfish near jetties on jigs with twister tails, surfperch in the surf.

    Recent catches? ODFW's Jan 22 rec report notes winter steelhead slow but present on North Coast like Nehalem and Nestucca—hatchery clips only, wild C&R. Coos Basin bottomfish fair one day, good the next; perch schools in estuaries. Cole Rivers Hatchery tallies summer steelhead at 2,111 season total. Amounts are modest—dozens reported, not limits—but quality: 25-inch trout risin' wary.

    Go-to lures: Suspendin' jerkbaits, spoons, drop shots, Ned rigs for deep suspenders, per BassForecast winter tips. Buzzbaits like Strike King's 3/16oz if wind calms. Bait? Worms on bottom jigs for perch, PowerBait near dams, or minnow patterns stripped low-light. ODFW pushes single barbless hooks, keep 'em wet.

    Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for rockfish—move if needed. Neck-downs off Depoe Bay for steelhead migrants. Bundle up, fish smart.

  • Coastal Fishing Report: Ling Cod Biting, Bottom Fishing Hot in the Pacific Northwest

    Coastal Fishing Report: Ling Cod Biting, Bottom Fishing Hot in the Pacific Northwest
    Jan 21 2026
    # Pacific Northwest Fishing Report

    Well folks, it's your old friend Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning Pacific fishing report, and let me tell you, the coast is looking pretty good right now.

    **Tides & Conditions**

    Starting with the water: high tide hit Newport this morning at 3:28 AM, sitting at 6.83 feet, and we've got a low tide coming at 8:51 AM around 2.58 feet. Down in Coos Bay, similar story—high at 3:28 AM. Water temperatures are still chilly this time of year, which means the fish are holding tight to structure.

    The National Weather Service is calling for northeast winds at 5 to 10 knots today with seas running 5 to 6 feet. Offshore winds are continuing through midweek, which means we've got decent boating conditions if you can get out there. We're looking at sunrise around 7:45 AM and sunset closer to 4:50 PM—short days, but that shouldn't stop you.

    **What's Biting**

    Here's the hot news: recent reports show ling cod are absolutely biting on the rocks, and bottom fishing for rock cod has been excellent when conditions cooperate. Point Loma and various charters have been pulling barred surfperch and whitefish consistently—one charter logged 43 whitefish and 15 barred perch on a recent 1/2 day. Winter months are typically fantastic here if you get the right window.

    **Tackle & Technique**

    For lures, you can't go wrong with soft plastics rigged on jig heads for bottom work—they mimic natural baitfish movement in these cold currents. Fast-moving plugs and vertical jigging work well for mid-water species. If you're after trophy stuff, spinnerbaits built for speed in fast current are money, especially ones imitating schooling baitfish patterns.

    **Hot Spots**

    Hit the waters around Newport and Depoe Bay—both have been producing solid reports. Bottom structure near Coos Bay's rocky areas is holding good populations of ling cod right now.

    Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for daily updates on what's biting out here on the coast!

Ocean's openin' for lingcod and bottomfish, crappin' pots fillin' fast in winter prime.

    For lures, hit 'em with Spin-N-Glo's, soft beads, or streamers for steelies—plugs and back-bouncin' roe killin' it on the Chetco and Rogue. Bait-wise, fresh roe rules, or try Gulp! sandworms for surf perch if tides drop low.
